The planning agency for the federal government has approved a revised perimeter security plan for the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial to be built in West Potomac Park.
In September 2008 the National Capital Planning Commission approved preliminary and final site and building plans for the memorial but rejected proposed security bollards — short vertical posts — for the memorial’s two entrances.
Under the revised plan, the National Park Service integrated the proposed security elements into the overall design of the memorial and provided supplemental threat assessment materials to justify its proposal.
Under the updated plan, a depressed planter containing low-lying plants and two American elm trees would sit at the main entrance near the intersection of Independence Avenue and West Basin Drive.
